Abstract: A mobile station, i.e., mobile phone included in a cellular telephone system processes paging messages using a dual-port RAM memory connected between a signal processor (DSP) and a microprocessor (MCU). The paging message received and coded by the signal processor is transferred to the RAM memory, the identity number contained by the paging message is compared with the identity number of the microprocessor at the same time in the signal processor and only when they are congruent, the microprocessor is activated through a separate interrupt line. Because most paging messages are either empty messages or intended for other mobile stations, the microprocessor (MCU) can remain on as low a power level as possible during the paging of messages while the mobile station is in the stand-by state.

Abstract: A computer system (44) including a central processing unit (CPU) (46) and a power management circuit (PMC) (52). The CPU (46) has an active mode where it is responsive to interrupt and direct memory access requests, and a standby mode where it is in a low power state and is not responsive to the interrupts and direct memory access requests. The PMC (52) monitors the interrupts and direct memory access requests in the system (44) when the CPU (46) is in the standby mode, and causes the CPU (46) to enter the active mode upon the detection of either an interrupt or a direct memory access request. The PMC (52) includes: a standby register having a content which indicates either a standby or an active mode for the CPU; logic coupled to the standby register to produce a standby enabling output signal when the content of the standby register indicates a standby mode, and to produce a standby disabling output signal when the content of the standby register indicates an active mode; and logic which forces the content of the standby register to the active mode upon the detection of either an interrupt or a direct memory access request. A method for managing power consumed by a CPU (46) of a computer system (44) includes forcing the CPU (46) to enter a low-power standby mode, monitoring the computer system (44) for interrupts and direct memory access requests, and reactivating the central processing unit (46) to an active mode where the CPU (46) is capable of responding to the detected requests.

Abstract: A resist film is formed on a semiconductor substrate by using a chemical amplification resist which generates an acid (or base) in response to the radiation of KrF excimer laser light and which reacts with the acid (base). If the resist film is irradiated with the KrF excimer laser light through a mask, the acid (base) is generated in the surface of an exposed portion of the resist film, so that the surface of the exposed portion is made hydrophilic by the acid (base). If water vapor is supplied to the surface of the resist film, water is diffused from the surface of the exposed portion into a deep portion. If vapor of e.g. methyltriethoxysilane is sprayed onto the surface of the resist film in air at a relative humidity of 95%, an oxide film with a sufficiently large thickness is selectively formed on the surface of the exposed portion.

Abstract: A multi-layer mirror structure included in a surface-normal semiconductor optical cavity is fabricated in a deposition reactor dedicated to that purpose alone. Additional layers of the device are subsequently deposited on top of the mirror structure in a second reactor. In practice, the dedicated reactor produces layers whose thickness variations over their entire extents are considerably less than the thickness variations of layers made in the second reactor. This coupled with the fact that the actual achieved thickness of the mirror structure can be conveniently measured before commencing deposition of a prescribed thickness of the additional layers makes it possible to fabricate a specified-thickness optical cavity within tight tolerances in a high-yield manner.

Abstract: A specific pattern in an inputted digital signal is detected (13) and the input digital signal is sampled and held (14) in accordance with such a detection output. A clock (15-17) whose phase is synchronized with the input digital signal is generated on the basis of the sampling output. With such a construction as mentioned above, the phase of the clock can be optimally controlled by a simple construction. The clock can be precisely extracted from the input digital signal, so that the operation of a circuit is also stable.

Abstract: The receiver (1) has a high-frequency input connection (2) for the signals from the output (4) of a diversity antenna array (5), with one AM and several FM antennas. A control signal at an intermediate frequency is supplied from the receiver to the antenna array. If only a single rod antenna is in used the IF signal is inhibited by decoupling (7) with a controlled switch (8). The presence of more antennas is recognisable from the effect of a resistive divider with the resistive components (R1,R2) connected by chokes (9,10) to the feeder (3). The voltage (Ux) at the junction is evaluated (12) and the switch is operated accordingly.

Abstract: A pressure switch includes a switch housing which has an accommodation bore extending inward from one end of the switch housing, and a slide bore extending between the accommodation bore and the other end of the switch housing. A piston is slidably disposed within the slide bore and is adapted to receive a pressure. A terminal serving as one electric contact is fixed to the accommodation bore via a holding ring made of an insulating material. A disk spring serving as the other electric contact is disposed between the piston and the terminal. The disk spring deforms due to a pressing force of the piston and comes in contact with the terminal. The pressure switch further comprises an annular elastic ring placed on the outer end of the holding ring. An end portion of the switch housing is deformed inward so as to elastically deform the elastic ring, thereby sealing the opening portion of the accommodation bore. The switch housing has a cylindrical portion which has a cylindrical outer shape and into which the holding ring is press-fit, a threaded portion for attachment of the switch housing, and a polygonal tightening portion which is formed between the cylindrical portion and the threaded portion and is used to tighten the switch housing.

Abstract: A packet-based telecommunications architecture is disclosed that, like virtual-circuit networks, preserves the sequential order in which packets are presented to the network, but does not require node-by-node call set-up or tear-down, unlike virtual-circuit networks. Further, the packet switches (1-15) which compose the architecture can be more simple than those used in datagram or virtual-circuit networks. An illustrative embodiment of the present invention comprises determining the topology of a network of packet switches that are connected by communication links, associating at least two names (e.g., 10a, 10b) with at least one of the packet switches (10), and populating the router tables (913) in the packet switches so that for each name the packet switches and communication links form an elemental network with the topology of a sink tree with the named packet switch at the root of the tree.

Abstract: A group of bushings or high voltage current transformers receives voltage in parallel to produce a current output from each bushing. Cumulatively combining the current outputs from the bushings or high voltage current transformers vectorially furnishes a vector sum bushing current. Reference voltage devices also produce reference current outputs. Cumulatively combining the reference current outputs vectorially provides a vector sum reference current, and differentially vectorially combining the vector sum reference current with the vector sum bushing current delayed by 90° provides a difference signal representative of a bushing condition. As an alternative to the reference voltage devices, a second group of bushings or high voltage current transformers may be used. In this case, a delay of 90° is not required. The invention may also be used to monitor the condition of other capacitive devices, for example, high voltage current transformers.
